Cellular senescence serves as a fundamental and underlying activity that drives the aging process, it is intricately associated with numerous age-related diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurodegenerative aging-related disorder characterized by progressive cognitive impairment. Although increasing evidence suggests senescent microglia play role in pathogenesis of AD, their exact remains unclear. In this study, we quantified levels lactic acid microglia, hippocampus tissues...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted great attention as an alternative tumor treatment method. Unfortunately, it suffers from some limitations like poor targeting capability and insufficient therapeutic efficiency caused by hypoxia. In this work, we introduce a novel O2-evolving PDT nanoparticle for homologous cancer cell well dual-mode imaging [i.e., magnetic resonance (MRI) fluorescence imaging]. Specifically, the nanostructure consists of MnO2 nanosheet-coated metal–organic framework...

Real-time monitoring ultrastructural dynamics at nanometer-scale resolution is crucially desired for further understanding the mitochondria-based function.

MitoCD effectively accumulate regardless decrease or vanishing membrane potential (MMP), enabling exploration...
Bimetallic nanostructures are a promising candidate for plasmon-driven photocatalysis. However, knowledge on the generation and utilization of hot carriers in bimetallic is still limited.

Abstract In this work, we demonstrated a convenient and green strategy for the synthesis of highly luminescent water-soluble carbon dots (Cdots) by carbonizing precursors, i.e., Bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles, in water solution.

According to FT-IR...
